Ultra-High-Resolution Image Capture

The 21.1 Megapixel Full-Frame CMOS Sensor captures images with stunning detail and precision. The resulting high-resolution image files ensure exceptional reproduction quality, with generous data density for enhanced large-output capabilities and post-processing cropping flexibility.

The Canon CMOS Advantage

Canon CMOS sensors — designed and manufactured by Canon for exclusive use in Canon digital cameras — provide a number of important advantages over sensors typically found in other digital cameras: Their significantly reduced power consumption helps extend battery life and eliminates performance problems related to increased heat and noise. They deliver fast operation, taking full advantage of multichannel architecture to provide standout combinations of high resolution and high-speed image capturing performance. In addition, a multi-layer low-pass filter is placed in front of the sensor to isolate false colors that the sensor may detect. Canon CMOS sensors also incorporate a novel noise reduction system that records the noise of each pixel prior to exposure then automatically subtracts that noise. Lauded by the best in the business, Canon’s CMOS sensors deliver outstanding resolution and signal purity, making them ideal for the most critical photographic applications.

Extended RAW Recording Capabilities

The EOS-1Ds Mark III can capture RAW and sRAW (Small RAW) images. This added versatility is ideal for photographers who prefer the control afforded by RAW capture in shooting situations that do not require the camera’s full resolution capability. Options are also provided for simultaneous RAW+JPEG and sRAW+JPEG recording with an extensive choice of JPEG sizing options.

Smoother Color Tonality

The EOS-1Ds Mark III employs powerful 14-bit converters to process the output of the imaging sensor. Each color channel provides 16,384 separate steps of brightness, from darkest to lightest. This ensures smoother tonal transitions and more natural gradations. 16,384 distinct tones can be recorded in each color channel, with every click of the shutter — even JPEG images start using 14 bits of tonal data!

made of an advanced magnesium alloy. In lesser cameras, these parts are typically made of composite materials. Exceptionally strong and rigid, this alloy results in a camera that can truly withstand the punishment routinely meted out by many professional photographers. At the same time, it makes the camera lighter for improved handling and maneuverability.

Extensive weatherproofing ensures true reliability, even when shooting in harsh environments. Rubber gaskets are used at nearly every joint and seam — including around the battery compartment cover, memory card door and flash shoe — to keep out moisture and dust.

63-zone Metering System

A 63-zone metering sensor combined with sophisticated metering algorithms delivers more precise and stable exposure calculation over a wider range of shooting situations. Both available-light and flash metering performance have been improved. The metering sensor zones optimally match the 19 primary AF points. Photographers can choose from among automated Evaluative, Partial area (8.5% at the center), Spot (2.4% at the center), Multi-Spot and Center-Weighted average metering modes.

A Full-Frame Performance Standard

The CMOS sensor developed by Canon for the EOS-1Ds Mark III delivers approximately 21.1 effective Megapixels (5632 x 3750 pixels). It makes possible ultra-high-resolution digital photography, and the large amount of image data recorded result in enhanced large-output capabilities and effortless post-processing flexibility.

images and graphical data. The bigger image area makes it easier than ever to confirm capture, check memory card contents, confirm shooting parameters and access all menu options.

Moreover, the EOS-1Ds Mark III features a sophisticated Live View Function, which makes the 3.0-inch LCD monitor a real-time finder. When the Live View Function is enabled, the reflex mirror is locked up and the shutter opened. The image output from the CMOS sensor will be displayed in real time on the LCD monitor at 100% coverage. A selectable portion of the image can be magnified by 5x or 10x to aid in precise manual focusing. Manual focus, exposure check, composing and shooting can all be accomplished in this mode.

Live View Function is convenient for tripod-mounted shooting, macro work and other situations in which it would be a physical strain to keep the eye at the viewfinder. The Live View Function image can also be displayed on a TV monitor, which is ideal for showing images, as they are being composed, to clients and portrait subjects.

Highlight Tone Priority

Activated via a Custom Function, the Highlight Tone Priority mode employs sophisticated processing algorithms to preserve greater detail in image highlight areas — a perennial problem for digital photographers, especially those who work in bright sunlight or contrasty studio lighting. Highlight Tone Priority actually expands the available range of capture in the highlights, yet it exacts no penalties in either shadow detail or camera performance. It benefits photographers who shoot RAW images as well as those who rely on in-camera processing.

Canon EOS Tilt-Shift Lenses

Canon TS-E lenses are capable of tilt and shift movements that normally require the use of technical view cameras. Tilt movements alter the angle of the plane of focus between

the lens and the focal plane, making broad depth-of-field possible even at wider apertures. These capabilities greatly expand the versatility of the EOS System and are ideal for specialized applications, such as architectural photography.

The Full-Frame Optical Advantage

Digital SLR cameras with smaller sensors, by comparison, require a focal length conversion factor that effectively narrows the field of view as though you’ve added a telephoto converter. EOS Digital SLR cameras with full-frame sensors let photographers use the entire range of superb Canon EF lenses without a conversion factor, making it possible to take full advantage of the specific optical characteristics for which the lenses were designed.

63-zone Metering System

Photographers can choose from among Evaluative, Partial area (8.5% at the center), Spot (2.4% at the center), Multi-Spot, and Center-Weighted average metering modes.

Highlight Tone Priority

The Highlight Tone Priority mode can be activated via Custom Function to help preserve greater detail in image highlight areas. It actually expands the available range of capture in the highlights, yet it exacts no penalties in either shadow detail or camera performance. It benefits nearly all professionals — for example, a nature photographer shooting winter snow scenes, a wedding photographer seeking to preserve detail in the bride’s dress, or an architectural photographer facing a highcontrast scene in bright sunlight.
